The warm life of farming

An Ran lowered her head and waited for a while but did not see Mu Yuan's voice, so she couldn't continue with this awkward posture, just raised her head to prepare to be dissatisfied, but she saw Mu Yuan blushing suspiciously, with a strange expression on her face. Stare at yourself.

An Ran blinked her eyes, her face full of doubts, she moved forward and looked at Mu Yuan curiously, "Brother Mu, what's wrong with you? Your face...why does it seem to be red?"

Mu Yuan was shocked when he came back to his senses, and hurriedly took a step back to look away, while covering up in a panic: "Ah... that, it's okay!" After a pause, his face turned green and white, and he said angrily for a while: "You just now What kind of nerves are you getting? Shocked me! What are you talking about? Are you a woman? Did you agree? "

An Ran was taken aback by the yelling, and frowned dissatisfiedly: "You didn't joke with me like this yesterday..." Looking up and looking at Mu Yuan, she seemed to be really angry, so she felt wronged, originally she only wanted to make a joke, why did she provoke others? Are you angry?Besides, he was the one who made the joke first.

"...Can it be the same!" Mu Yuan's weak and forceful words made sense, and the impact on his heart is self-evident.Whoever suddenly finds himself facing the person who has always been his younger brother's heartbeat suddenly speeds up, his face will probably not look good.

An Ran was stunned, her face was pale, it was the first time she was treated with such a vicious attitude by Mu Yuan, and it was just because of a small joke?Thinking of this, I felt extremely wronged in my heart, and tears slowly came to my eyes.

When Mu Yuan saw that An Ran was about to cry, he realized that he had a bad attitude just now, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he could only comfort him in a hurry.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I was wrong, I didn't mean to kill you just now!"

An Ran was feeling wronged and sad, lowered her head in depression and kept silent.

Mu Yuan was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head, but he didn't know how to explain it.

An Ran sniffed for a while, and said aggrievedly: "Just now I just wanted to joke with you, I didn't mean anything else, brother Mu, don't be angry."

Mu Yuan was speechless, and suddenly became unable to speak, and said anxiously: "No, I'm not angry, just don't be angry with me, I have a bad attitude just now, I apologize! Just think I'm crazy, don't be angry My anger..."

An Ran nodded, looked up at the cautious Mu Yuan, and asked in a muffled voice, "It's so late, is there anything you can do to find me?" Even though she felt uncomfortable, she still didn't want to quarrel with Mu Yuan...

The atmosphere was heavy, and Mu Yuan wasn't in the mood to say anything else, so he didn't mention the matter of space, and found another reason to perfunctory, "Well, I came here just to tell you, um... …I want to eat pancakes tomorrow morning, don’t forget to make some tomorrow morning! …Well, I’m very sleepy! I’m going to go back to sleep! You should go back to sleep too, children won’t grow taller if they don’t sleep well! "This reason is even worse, especially when the two of them just finished their quarrel.

Mu Yuan finished speaking brazenly, but he kept turning his head awkwardly during the speech, not daring to look at An Ran, and when he finished speaking, he turned around and fled in a hurry.

An Ran held onto the door frame in a daze for a moment, because Mu Yuan kept turning his head, all he could see was a glowing red ear...

After a while, I realized that this person came for breakfast?Thinking of this, I thought of what I said just now. No matter how I thought about it, I felt wronged, so I became even more dissatisfied: "You rascal...it's unreasonable! You want to eat pancakes if you treat me so fiercely? If you want to eat it, fry it yourself!" After speaking, he turned his head angrily. Go back to bed.

An Ran entered the room, first took off his clothes and folded them next to the pillow, then turned on the light and climbed onto the bed, and when he was already under the quilt, he suddenly thought of another point, "Huh? Then why is he blushing..."

Here Mu Yuan ran back to the house and lay on the bed, his heart was beating violently, but his expression was weird.

Mu Yuan stared at the top of the bed in a daze for a long time, and suddenly thought of An Ran's eccentric and shy appearance just now, so he covered his face depressedly, and murmured in disbelief: "How could this be?"

Such poor acting skills, I have already seen it, knowing that I am acting, how can I still blush...It's just that the skin has become fairer and tender, how can it change so much...What is my reaction?Mu Yuan covered the position of his heart, and ruthlessly smoothed it a few times with a bitter face, hoping to stabilize the heart that was beating too fast, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

"What the hell, I'm still blushing. How can I save my face in the future!" Thinking of this, Mu Yuan turned over and sat up, slapping his cheeks vigorously with both hands in annoyance.

"Ouch! It hurts!" Accidentally took the shot hard...

Mu Yuan rubbed his face, thinking of the stiff atmosphere just now, he fell down on the bed after a while and tossed and turned in boredom. As a result, he tossed and turned all night, and did not fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

Everyone in the Anjia hall had breakfast, because life was not so difficult, so now they would cook something in the morning.Under Mu Yuan's leadership, now everyone in the family can eat some spicy food, so this morning An Ran fried a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, then cut small pickles, and finally fried oil pancakes.

Papa An was still slowly drinking porridge with pickles.Xiao Yu put the pancake into his mouth while looking curiously at Mu Yuan, who was sluggish, and almost stuffed the pancake up his nose.

An Ran was serious about eating breakfast with no expression, a mouthful of pickles, a mouthful of porridge, and then a mouthful of pancakes. He ate very regularly.

Xu Changlin watched the crowd for a long time, because the atmosphere was really weird, finally he decided that it would be better not to ask anything, reached out to take a cake, and began to chew slowly.

It is impossible to say that An Ran is not sad anymore, it was just a joke but it was said to be so hurtful, of course it is not so easy for An Ran to see it.

An Ran looked at Mu Yuan, who was in low spirits, and for some reason suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

An Ran looked at Mu Yuan and said slowly: "Brother Mu, if you have nothing to do these two days, go to the field with me and dad to help. It's already late to plant potatoes, so we have to speed up, or we won't be able to catch up with next year's corn."

Hearing this, Mu Yuan replied reflexively: "Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do in the past few days, and I just learned what farming is!" After speaking, he saw An Ran looking at him with a blank face, so he felt uncomfortable He laughed twice, then lowered his head and looked around, but he didn't dare to look at An Ran again.

Xu Changlin first glanced at Mu Yuan's weird look, and then at An Ran's expressionless face, full of doubts.In the end, he sighed secretly, and said to An Ran: "I'll go with you too, it will be faster if there is one more person!"

"No need! Brother Xu, you can just study at home, the three of us in the field are enough!" An Ran shook her head quickly and said, and then said with some embarrassment: "But Xiao Yu has to be left to you to take care of again!"

Xu Changlin smiled softly and said, "Xiao Yu is very smart, teaching her is effortless!"... But that was before, since Mu Yuan bought Xiao Yu so many toys, now Xiao Yu doesn't like learning at all.Xu Changlin didn't say the latter words, but just gave Mu Yuan an indistinct look.

Mu Yuan, whose whole face was about to be buried in the bowl, suddenly felt a numbness in his back, huh?Why do I feel like someone is scolding me...

Father An raised his head and finished the porridge, then put down the bowl, looked at this and then that, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you move your chopsticks? Eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while!"

Everyone hurriedly picked up their chopsticks and started eating again. Xiaoyu touched his stomach, and then reached for the second pancake...

After eating and tidying up, Mu Yuan took the hoe that An Ran handed him, and he was ready to follow them to work in the field.This can be said to be Mu Yuan's first time going to the ground, so he was very excited on the way there, the original discomfort disappeared, and he kept pulling An Ran and asking about it.

An Ran raised her head slightly, looking at Mu Yuan laughing and flattering herself without any trace, she always felt that the grievance and sadness in her heart disappeared.I still remember the strange words and deeds and the miraculous background when I first met Mu Yuan, which made me remember him immediately, and what happened after that made me trust him more and more. people.To be honest, An Ran felt that she was more afraid of Mu Yuan's anger.

The morning air is fresh and the sun is thin. Both sides of the road are full of crop fields of the villagers.Father An walked quickly in front, while Mu Yuan walked slowly and looked around, An Ran followed Mu Yuan and swayed slowly, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and suddenly felt happy.

It's just that An Ran decided to continue to be angry for another two days...

Mu Yuan looked at the Chinese cabbage planted in the field next to him and asked An Ran, "An Ran, I remember potatoes are cut into pieces, right?"

An Ran was surprised: "I didn't expect you to know this!"

"I'm not good at farming, but at least I have a thousand years of wisdom!" Mu Yuan was proud, and then suddenly said: "Then cut a few more pieces of potatoes, so a few potatoes in one field will be enough?"

"That's what the wisdom of the millennium told you?" An Ran couldn't help laughing out loud in surprise, and said, "To plant potatoes, you have to let the potatoes germinate first, and then cut them into small pieces. The sprouts will do!" Seeing Mu Yuan's embarrassing expression after suddenly realizing it, An Ran's face was full of smiles, and her voice revealed a burst of joy, "After this, I have to dip the cut potatoes with grass ash, so that the potatoes can be buried in the ground Then it won't rot...well, you seem to be blushing again..."

"!" Mu Yuan was taken aback, turned his head to the other side quickly, and shouted: "You read it wrong, it was illuminated by the sun!" After speaking, he hurried to catch up with An Ran, and ignored An Ran.

An Ran snickered from behind, looking at Mu Yuan's back, she seemed to understand something vaguely in her heart, but she didn't seem to understand, she just felt that the mood at this moment was extremely happy.

When he got to the place, Mu Yuan was dumbfounded, it was such a big area, when did it end like this?Just as he was thinking, the An family and his son had already started to attack.Mu Yuan rubbed his nose, An Ran can do it, so what can't he do?Thinking of this, he waved his hoe just like Father An.

This land has been rented from Xu Changlin, and crops have been planted all these years, and it is not very difficult to clean it up. It is not as scary as Mu Yuan imagined.But Mu Yuan still suffered a lot, and his hands were blistered.

Mu Yuan used to dig fish ponds and tree pits in the space, and his hands got blisters, but he never did such rough work again, and it was safe to cook and wash at home. The cocoon has run out of supplies again...

An Ran wrapped a cloth belt around Mu Yuan's hands, and said with a sullen face on purpose: "You should rest aside!"

Mu Yuan suddenly raised An Ran's hand to look at the cocoon on it, and then touched it lightly with his hand, feeling hard.

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Next time, if I grind off the calluses with this hand, I won't be able to get enough supplies!"

An Ran looked at the hands held by the two, and her expression softened unconsciously. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand in embarrassment, she heard a woman yelling, "Isn't this the two boys from An's family? Holding hands here What is it?"

An Ran looked back at the person who came, and then frowned.

Seeing An Ran frown, Mu Yuan asked suspiciously, "Who is this person? I don't think I've seen it before."

An Ran whispered quickly: "Anyway, it's not good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman had already come to the front. She looked at least 40 years old, but she was still wearing bright red and her face was still painted.

Mu Yuan was dumbfounded, it was the first time he saw a woman in the village dressed like this.

No.30 one

As soon as the woman approached, she began to look at Mu Yuan with bright eyes, and her eyes made Mu Yuan's goosebumps rise.

An Ran stepped forward suddenly at this moment, and said with a smile, "Matchmaker Liu, what's the matter?"

Only then did Matchmaker Liu turn her eyes away from Mu Yuan, turned to look at An Ran and said, "This is your relative——Mu Yuan, right?" Like braving.

Mu Yuan shook again, grinning and said, "Hello!"

"Yo, you're so polite! It looks like she's from a big family!" Matchmaker Liu exaggeratedly yelled, startling Old An, who was working hard on the other end.

Father An frowned when he saw the scene here, put down his hoe, and walked towards Mu Yuan and the others.As soon as he came to the front, he heard the matchmaker Liu ask Mu Yuan, "Are you married? I have many daughters from good families!"

Before Mu Yuan could talk to An Ran, Father An directly refused and said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore, don't push your daughter to Xiao Yuan." His tone actually contained a trace of disgust.

Mu Yuan was curious, how did Matchmaker Liu offend such a hard-hearted and honest person like Father An?

The matchmaker Liu saw a hint of embarrassment on her face when she saw Father An coming forward, but she quickly covered it up, her big blood-red mouth cracked into a smile, and said, "That's it, that's okay, if you fall in love with someone in the future Come to me when you have a daughter, who knows that my matchmaker Liu is here in Xujiacun and Lijiagou?"

Father An ignored her at all, An Ran and Mu Yuan didn't talk to each other, and Matchmaker Liu didn't feel embarrassed, she said a few more words with a cheerful attitude before leaving.

As soon as she left, Father An explained a few words and went back to work, while Mu Yuan couldn't help asking An Ran curiously.

An Ran said disapprovingly: "She has a bad heart, she was said to have cheated many people, and people in the village generally would not look for her."

"what?"

"Cheating gifts, stealing brides, she does such things a lot!"

Mu Yuan frowned, "Won't the government arrest her?"

An Ran said angrily: "This matter is not considered a serious crime in Dazhou, and if you are caught, you will only be fined money! If it were in Liang Kingdom, such a fraudulent marriage would be beheaded."

"Well...you know pretty well."

An Ran gave Mu Yuan a blank look, and said: "Of course, when she was matchmaking for Dad, Aunt Xu told us specially!"

"Pfft~" Mu Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "She even acted as a matchmaker for Uncle An? What kind of girl are you talking about?"

Mu Yuan's emotions probably infected An Ran, and An Ran burst out laughing, "At the beginning, she said that the girl was very quiet, and she liked to be a female celebrity in the house and mend clothes when she had nothing to do. She was extremely virtuous! But you know what it is actually. How is it? That girl is dumb, and she has bad legs!"

Mu Yuan blacked out, "This is too much nonsense..."

An Ran glanced at Mu Yuan, and said casually: "So if Big Brother Mu wants to find someone to be a matchmaker in the future, don't look for such a matchmaker!"

Mu Yuan thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Well, you have to be careful!"

When An Ran heard this, she just felt a little blocked in her heart, and said with a groan: "Brother Mu, there should be many women who are willing to marry..."

Mu Yuan didn't care about this. Women in this world are all very conservative, and their personalities are basically the same. Mu Yuan, who is used to the independent personality of modern women, really can't feel attracted to them.

Mu Yuan looked at An Ran and asked suddenly: "Speaking of which, you are almost fifteen, right? Uncle hasn't planned to marry you yet?"

An Ran was awkward, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry... You see, Big Brother Xu is nineteen years old and hasn't married yet!"

Mu Yuan looked at An Ran, and teased, "Just because you're not in a hurry doesn't mean that uncle isn't in a hurry, he might get your wife someday!"

An Ran looked at Mu Yuan angrily, and said, "It is you who want to get married before me, you are older than me!"

Hearing this, Mu Yuan shuddered and said, "Forget it! I can't communicate with women of this era..."

The two stood at the edge of the field and chattered. Father An looked at it and laughed. They were still two children!Standing straight again and looking at the land that I have been fighting for, I feel extremely satisfied.

The days passed so quickly, and soon there was heavy snow like goose feathers, and within a few days it was already freezing cold outside.

Mu Yuan and the others prepared the quilts and cotton clothes early on, so they didn't freeze.Because Xu Changlin's earthen house was not as warm as a tile-roofed house, Mu Yuan and An Ran's ink marks came to An's house.

The snow has been falling nonstop for five or six days, and the calf can be flooded as soon as you open the door and step out.Everyone was bored in the house for several days, and the snow finally stopped, and they couldn't help but want to come out to get some air.

Mu Yuan opened the door and took a deep breath, but was coughed by the cold air, An Ran stood aside and laughed at him.

Xu Changlin pulled the excited Xiaoyu, and said to Mu Yuan and An Ran: "Hurry up and go to the fish pond to see how it is, I will take Xiaoyu to play for a while, and we have to clear the snow on the roof when you come back. "

"Got it!" Mu Yuan smiled and pulled An Ran up, and the two slowly stepped on the snow to inspect the fish pond.

The fish pond had already been covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ice was also covered with a layer of snow. Mu Yuan looked at it for a long time but didn't see why.But I don't worry too much in my heart, Mu Yuan has already prepared enough for the fish species to survive the winter before, as long as there are no accidents, the fish here should have no problem to survive the winter.

After confirming that nothing happened, Mu Yuan took An Ran and walked back slowly.

"The New Year is coming soon, do you have any customs here?"

An Ran thought for a while and said, "We have a lot of customs, but my family doesn't have any relatives here, so I don't need to do many things."

Mu Yuan suddenly laughed and said, "Now that I think about it, it's really funny. Your family has no relatives, and I have no relatives here, and Xu Changlin also has no relatives! It might be fate for us to get together!"

An Ran gave him a blank stare when he heard this nonsense, but he didn't notice that his foot slipped and almost fell down.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Mu Yuan quickly hugged her.

"See, this is the result of you staring at me!" Mu Yuan looked at the person in his arms, laughing gloatingly.

Because of being hugged by Mu Yuan, An Ran was extremely uncomfortable, and being teased by Mu Yuan, she broke free with a blushing face.

Only then did Mu Yuan come to his senses, let go of his hand quickly, and said with a dry smile, "It's so cold, let's go back quickly!" Then he took An Ran's hand and walked back slowly.

Mu Yuan turned his head and saw that An Ran's fair face was a little red, and wondered if he was frozen?So he stretched out his hand and pinched his face naturally, and said, "It's cold? Your face is turning red from the cold!"

An Ran's heart trembled, feeling that the place Mu Yuan pinched was hot, so her face turned even redder, and she shook her head calmly, "It's not cold!" But she was annoyed by her own reaction in her heart, it was just being pinched. , actually panicked.

"Well, that's good!" Mu Yuan smiled calmly, but actually his heart was already in a storm!The pinch just now was completely a subconscious reaction, and I didn't realize it was a bit awkward until the pinch was over.

The relationship is really strange, Mu Yuan held An Ran's hand and played with it subconsciously, while thinking about it.I still don't understand until now, why do I have a different mood for this child?Could it be that they really got along day and night so they fell in love for a long time?

In fact, think about it, probably it should become a habit, right?Coaxing and pampering, seeing him suffering, I will find ways to make him happy, and seeing him happy, I will also be happy.In the past, I had no other thoughts. I really regarded him as my younger brother, and I just took care of him. If I didn't make sure of it, I put myself in it.

It's hard for Mu Yuan to say whether he would be like this if he were someone else, but what he met now was An Ran, and besides all the chances and coincidences in it, now that this is the case, he doesn't think about anything else.

Thinking back to my first girlfriend, who was pure and beautiful, and had a cheerful and generous personality, after I was sure that I liked her, didn't I let go of her without fear of twists and turns?But then why did they break up?Hmm... can't remember...

Mu Yuan thinks that he is still very brave in his relationship, if he really likes it, then there is nothing to encourage him.But An Ran is still young, so she doesn't have to worry too much...

Mu Yuan was distracted thinking about it, while An Ran's face was blushing almost to the point of bleeding.

An Ran felt that Mu Yuan was pinching and playing with her hands all the time, her palms felt numb and itchy, her heart was about to die of embarrassment, she opened her mouth a few times but was not ashamed to say it, and ended up holding back all the way home. .

Father An has cleared a small path in the courtyard of the house, and Xu Changlin is taking Xiao Yu to build a snowman in the snowdrift beside him.

Seeing the two coming back, Xu Changlin stood up facing each other, then he was taken aback, "Well, why is An Ran's face so red?"

"Ah?" Mu Yuan was confused, then looked down.

An Ran was embarrassed by the look, and shouted in a rough voice: "I'm frozen!" After speaking, she turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen, but her feet slipped again as she walked quickly, and she almost fell.

Mu Yuan rushed over to help him, and said helplessly, "Don't you have a long memory? I almost fell just now!"

An Ran puffed up her face, and glared at Mu Yuan from embarrassment.Mu Yuan scratched his head, feeling that he was stared at innocently.

Xu Changlin stood aside and watched the interaction between the two. He always felt that something was different from usual, but he couldn't tell. It was just the intimacy between the two of them, which made him feel that he couldn't get in...

Father An was coming out of the house. When he saw Mu Yuan and the others coming back, he said, "Xu Tu came here just now. He gave us some meat and then went back. He didn't want to take any money!"

Mu Yuan said happily: "It's great to have meat, let's eat dumplings later!"

An Ran cast a glance at Mu Yuan, and hummed, "The noodles haven't been mixed yet, and the minced meat hasn't been chopped yet!"

Mu Yuan flattered him: "I'll make noodles! I'll chop stuffing! But I can't make dumplings, and I'll have to rely on you and Xu Changlin~ hehe!"

Xiao Yu at the side heard that there are dumplings to eat, so Xue stopped playing, and looked up at An Ran and acted coquettishly, "Brother, I want to eat dumplings too!"

Before talking to An Ran, Father An just smiled and said, "Then let's eat dumplings at noon!"

So everyone started to work, Mu Yuan chopped the stuffing, An Ran kneaded the noodles, Xu Changlin washed the vegetables, Xiao Yu continued to peel the onion and garlic, and Father An went to sweep the snow in the yard.

Wrapping the dumplings in a hurry, just about to add dumplings to the pot, when I heard the sound of banging on the door outside.

Mu Yuan frowned, and hurriedly came out of the kitchen with An Ran. When he arrived in the yard, Father An had already opened the door, and he was frowning listening to that man.

When Mu Yuan walked over, they had already finished speaking, and only heard the last sentence, "Then I will leave first, and I have to notify the next family!" After finishing speaking, the man left in a hurry.

Xu Changlin also rushed over this time, wondering: "Isn't that Xu Cai, but what happened in the village?"

Father An glanced at the crowd, and said sullenly: "The clan is going to have a meeting to deal with Xu Guochen."
